Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 large Onions
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the 5 tablespoons of oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water, kneading to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough rests, slice the onions finely and chop the green chilies.
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until translucent.
Add the chopped green chilies, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 6 inches long.
Cut each oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water.
Fill the cone with about 2 tablespoons of the cooled onion mixture. Seal the top edge with water to form a triangle.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
In a deep pan, heat the oil for frying over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of chutney.
